"Snow dwarf and the seven merry lads"
Τhe Grimm brothers’ popular classic fairy tale is presented here in an entirely different form – a truly difficult experiment not often before attempted in Greek literature: The Snow Dwarf and the Seven Μerry Lads, a story about entering into others’ feelings and learning to accept them by coming to terms with oneself. It is told with humour and imagination by an author accustomed to making successfully subversive excursions into other writers’ work.
